there is an old saying buyer beware , you get what you pay for , if IHOP worked out great if not no biggie .......... Eagles had alot more on the line as far as T.O. Goes ...........

That's an old and quaint cliche, but Denver didn't get what it paid for. The following links document what a seven-year, $34.8 million dollar contract does buy you:

Denver also lands Daryl Gardener. Risky. Very risky. Every few minutes, Gardener either a) comes down with a bad back, or b) ticks off his head coach. He played well and without incident for the Redskins last year, but I'm not sold that he's a franchise defensive tackle.

The Denver Broncos suspended Daryl Gardener for two more games after he lashed out publicly at head coach Mike Shanahan for an earlier one-game suspension.
The original suspension was for unspecified conduct detrimental to the team. Gardener responded by telling a Denver radio station last week that he didn't believe Shanahan wants him on the team and called the coach "that little man up there."
Those comments violated a clause in every NFL contract requiring players to give their best efforts and loyalty to their team, the Broncos said in a statement.

The meeting took place following an instance where coaches put together a tape of Gardener loafing on numerous plays. Naturally, Gardener called that an attempt by Shanahan to “sabotage” him and “set him up.”

However, safety Kenoy Kennedy said Shanahan does that frequently.

“He calls people out all the time,” Kennedy said. “He's done it before just to get his point across for the whole team to see. Guys take plays off all the time, but that tape, it was just play after play after play.”

"If Mike wants to get to the Super Bowl, Mike needs me to get to the Super Bowl," Gardener said. "Let's not even sugarcoat it, let's not even play it no other way. Mike needed me to get to the Super Bowl, for this defense to be functional.

Daryl Gardener's signing last March was a disaster for the Broncos, as he feuded with coaches, loafed, broke team rules and was suspended twice. But Broncos coach Mike Shanahan, who Gardener called the little man up there,'' is willing to give the defensive tackle another chance--if his teammates want him back.

Shanahan plans on leaving Gardener's future up to the team's veteran leaders. He is asking a group of players that includes Trevor Pryce, John Mobley, Al Wilson, Rod Smith, Shannon Sharpe, Tom Nalen and Jake Plummer about Gardener's return. Shanahan asked the group earlier in the season if he should keep Gardener on the active roster, and the vote went against Gardener. . . .

The NFL Management Council, on behalf of the Denver Broncos, has filed a grievance against defensive tackle Daryl Gardener seeking return of the $5 million signing bonus promised him in last year's free agent signing.

Owens had three touchdown catches, Donovan McNabb threw for 330 yards and tied a career high with four TD passes and Brian Westbrook ran for 119 yards, leading the Philadelphia Eagles over the New York Giants 31-17 on Sunday.

Terrell Owens had all of his 123 yards receiving in the first half and Lito Sheppard returned an interception 64 yards for a score, leading the undefeated Eagles to a 30-8 victory over the Panthers on Sunday.

Terrell Owens got the fun started with a 59-yard touchdown he considered so easy that he celebrated by pretending to ice skate in the end zone. Then he followed a 27-yarder with his favorite Texas Stadium pose, spreading out his arms while standing on the Dallas Cowboys' logo.

We’ve come full circle, TO contributed and IHOP didn’t. The Eagles took a calculated risk that ultimately came back to haunt them, and handled the situation as well as could be expected given the circumstances. That’s why Reid isn’t being “dissed.”

.... well the point I am getting to , is Denver can recover alot Faster over Ihop then the eagles will over Owens ........The Cap is one thing we all want to overlook , but it is Part of the game ...........there will be some dead money on the eagles now , hindering FA for them , So once you look @ everything Ihop screw up pails in comparision ...... You should have went with Dale Carter as your example , but then they are both same kind of screw up ........ Carry on

Because I’m discussing detrimental conduct, IHOP was the more logical comparison. Also, the Broncos are always spending at or near the limit, so dead money usually has a bigger impact.

Eisen: Terrell Owens and his deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, how is that structured and what cap hit did he leave behind in San Francisco?
Kirwan: He left $4.8 million on their books, which was really tragic. And you know, he was paying an awful lot of money to be a San Francisco 49er, he played well. He was scheduled to make $17 million in the next three years. Now what I love about what Philadelphia did, and how they have Terrell Owens under contract, Joe Banner, the master of managing the salary cap in Philadelphia, they gave T.O. a $6.2 million roster bonus. For the fans out there, that means they get to pay that money off this year. If you look at Philadelphia and consider they have Terrell Owens under contract and still have $10 million of cap space, they have T.O. captured for this year and next year for just $1 million more than he was scheduled to make in San Francisco. And Joe Banner, once again, has managed his cap well because, next year, his cap charges are very small, $3.5 million. Philadelphia wins in this deal in my opinion.

And as today, no team in the league had more salary-cap room than the Eagles, who are $9.5 million under the cap. The Eagles usually are the most aggressive this time of the year, partly because of all the room they have saved. Dating back the past five years, the Eagles regularly have extended players' contracts at this time of the year.

Same to you ...........
Eagles may have the room , but it is still a cap hit you dont want , they could probably bring in 2 quality players for that coin .........
As far as behavior , the NFL is full of shít heads Dale Carter was doing Drugs ...
